If Company permits, (which is recommended and mandatory for BTS Certification) A Live Video will be taken of each student at the 6, 12, and 18-foot heights. This will ensure that the attendees are using proper techniques, safety parameters and effectively ascending and descending wooden poles using pole climbing gaffs and associated equipment. A master copy of this video will be filled at BTS headquarters. BTS, as an added benefit, will issue a Username and Password to access the completion videos on our BTS secured video server. This provides easy access to every video for student company evaluations, company reviews and any legality issues where this video may be required. PROOF IS PROTECTON!
